Whats the consensus on a TA31ECOS acog? I have an itch for another acog and from reading the 700 or so pages this one has popped up a few times in this thread and i guess as seen in the wild. Is it clone correct?
I have a tan exps on my mk18 so i'm trying to go for optic diversity. I also like the crosshair reticle versus the traditional chevron. |

From what I was told by one of the individuals who does warranty work at Raytheon and from individuals who do repairs at armament tech, is that elcan optics are not meant to be opened at all for repairs. When the optic is damaged internally or to a point that it needs internal repairs and if it is under warranty they will just replace the optic, however if it is out of warranty you are pretty much sol. About the only repairs that can be done to them are external repairs as you stated which cover such issues as with the lever, lever spring, arms mount, and illumination module upgrade; these are very limited repairs.

I apologize if this has been covered, but which TA31 models are correct for a Block II FSP?
My budget sucks, so I’d like to pick a model that I could slap on my A4 and not be too far off if I were to feel the need. |
